About Stable Money
Stable-Alpha aims to build India's most trusted wealth tech platform, focusing on fixed-income investments. We're here to offer tailored solutions to retail investors that maximize and generate predictable returns, coupled with a sacrosanct focus on risk reduction.

The household financial assets in India are overwhelmingly dominated by fixed income instruments and are typically low-yielding, tax-inefficient products. Alternate fixed income products are nuanced and often complex, which presents an opportunity for a platform like ours to simplify fixed income investing for the end user through discoverability, demystification and analytics-driven custom fixed-income portfolios.

The tailwinds of a rising interest rate environment and a choppy stock market make this a great time for a platform like ours to be launched into the market.

Our Investors
We are an early-stage startup and have raised USD 20 Million in Series B funding! The round was led by Nandan Nilekani’s Fundamentum Partnership, with participation from Aditya Birla Ventures and existing investors Z47, RTP Global and Lightspeed.

Our team
Saurabh Jain is a graduate from IIT Bombay who has previously worked as the CEO of Navi Mutual Fund and was leading Swiggy’s expansion into 500+ cities.

Harish Reddy is a graduate from IIT Bombay and has deep expertise in building wealth product strategy. He was leading product strategy and the tech implementation at Estee Advisors. Both founders have extensive experience in wealth-tech businesses and complement each other to help build a scalable and value-accretive business.

Why work with Stable-Alpha?
The culture at Stable-Alpha would be very entrepreneurial with a flat hierarchy, and we promise to promote a welcome, open, and inquisitive culture where issues and ideas are discussed freely and frankly without fear of disapproval.

You will be presented with unique opportunities to innovate and challenged to work and learn new things every day. Stable-Alpha presents a great opportunity to be a part of the founding team and participate in the 0 to 1 journey of an exciting fintech business.
